Morning Clickers, another very Brrrrrrrr morning and we still have last night’s snow so may delay pool time until the roads are a tad safer looking. A client to see later this morning so hopefully our we roads will be ok by then. About -4 at the minute. See Tony is up and about too, morning Tony. @dandlyon Have a good day all

Morning Cilla, have resorted to the exercise bike at the minute, but don’t enjoy it nearly as much. 7 would be wonderful. We do have a very pretty sky at the minute – but that’s not such a good sign either.

Clickers Cabin Fever is becoming rampant I would enjoy an exercise bike….no need to wear a hideous helmet or incur the wrath of cyclist hating drivers (like us )……but no room to store one. Pedal away gal

Morning Clickers, and thank you Tony for giving me a laugh first thing. @dandlyon Electric supposed to be off all day today, so a good test for the OH’s new auto switch-over on the generator. Hope it works. Off for a swim shortly, and then back to the window repairs clean up. The boys did a great job on the repairs, but oh…[Read more]

Morning Cilla, they had to drill out a lot of the old hinges, so lots of “bits” everywhere, they didn’t get finished till nearly 5pm and didn’t particularly want them traipsing about anymore with big boots on! If you had seen the colour of their hands you wouldn’t have wanted them hanging curtains back up either. Just off so will catch…[Read more]

At the risk of making a sweeping statement – it’s pretty rare to find that a man’s idea of “clearing up” is the same as a woman’s, particularly when it’s part of her own space. Think the important thing is to encourage them to try and praise them lavishly when they do. Good morning Karen and Cilla – it’s dry here, Hurrah!

Morning Clickers, I see Tony and Jane lurking @dandlyon@northernteacher the rain has stopped at last, it was brutal yesterday. Off for a swim shortly, then work, but might get some clearing up done later. Have a good day all.

Morning Karen glad the rain has stopped for you – hoping the wind here will reduce as the Wiz doesn’t really like it and we have to go to Lidl. Hope to do some clearing up here too. Only about half a dozen more tomatoes to harvest, so will probably pull all the plants out. Have a good swim and day

Most surprised by the the vengeful note struck above – “killed a wasp with a brick” -had you marked down as a thoroughly civilised and rational woman, Jane. Or was it a mercy killing of an ailing insect? Will watch my Ps and Qs from now on – don’t want a brick heading my way with intent……

I have to admit I didn’t put Jane down as a murderess but I will give her the benefit of the doubt…….wasps are dozy and dying now so it was probably a mercy killing………more likely a revenge attack, though

Good morning from a grey Pres. Glad I trimmed the front ‘meadow’ yesterday…it’s now getting watered Last night there were two cock blackbirds running about on the cropped surface; and I slept very well too
HAGrD All and Tony @dandlyon, success on success

Very interesting, Sheila and good morning! Will be interesting to see what Tony @dandlyon thinks of this idea. I suppose those that live in drier areas should think about saving their vinegar from all those jars of pickled beetroot and gerkins for possible future use, though I dread to imagine the potential stink from spillage…

@dandlyon Following your lead yesterday Tony … I’ve taken a few shots of the local buildings I was describing.
What I don’t understand is why the descriptions I made under the photos doesn’t show up anywhere Maybe it’s only in my albums
